Thirty members of our Rotary Club had a great day on Tuesday, February 21st, putting together 432 food snack packages for children in area schools, playing a critical role in improving the overall health of our students. Providing healthy meals and snacks is particularly important for our students. For these students to live a healthy life, they need healthy snacks and meals at home. We are excited to participate with “Backpack Blessings” as volunteers and provide them with a new funding source with a designated $4,000 in the upcoming months. Nourished children are children ready to learn.
Thank you to everyone who came out and assisted!
